Description
Rev. John W. Stone writes to his Presiding Elder, James B. Finley, from his new appointment in Newark. Stone reports that he sometimes feels discouraged about the "backwardness" of Newark church members, but conditions are slowly improving. He expresses gratitude to Finley for attending a quarterly meeting. Finley's labors during that meeting will be "long remembered." Stone needs Finley's help to settle a problem from his previous appointment -- Putnam. It appears that he did not receive pay that was owed to him from the stewards. The stewards are arguing that rent was provided in lieu of pay. Stone is adamant that this is not the arrangement he had with the stewards. Abstract Number - 522
